Are judged if there housework is not all completed.....
Are thought of as lazy by some family members.....
Appear to allways be resting....
Somepeople.....
.
Are thought of as being hipercondriacts.....
And make a lot of visits to the Doctor....
Somepeople can't take as much effort in their presentation as they would possibly like....
And.....
Somepeople find every day tasks such a challenge.....to go shopping is painfull.....literally....
Holding a hairdryer or straightener is really painful...To push along a broom or mop is not only exhausting but so strenuous.....it will lay somepeople up in agony for this one task.....
For the rest of the day.
Sitting in a car or movies,theater is painful and will call for immediate pain in most of the joints.
Somepeople can't wash their hair as regular as they would like......its so painful to hold your arms up like that....
Somepeople rely on others for transportation as they cannot safely hold a steering wheel.....it's painful....and they often do not have adequate strength in their hands...
Somepeople have a dedicated disability sticker for their car....and yet they look like nothing is wrong with them.....
Somepeople awaken all night long due to pain levels through their entire bodies....
Somepeople are grumpy and seem unhappy due to lack of sleep ,pain levels and sometimes isolation.
Somepeople are often judged....as the condition is invisible.....
Somepeople would like some other people to be more giving.....understanding. And non judgemental.....
Somepeople are just like me and I have Fibromyalgia.......
We......still like to actively participate in life...
We love to go out with friends and family....
We enjoy being active.....swimming,walking.....
We would really above all else like to be able to do the things we once did.....at the pace we once did....with the strength....we once had....and as often as we once did it......
Unfortunately our Fibromyalgia has slowed us down....
that's all,...
We are still the same person....who loves....who has aspirations.....dreams and goals.....
Just like someothers...that don't have Fibromyalgia......
Wellbeing for me is about a holistic approach to health....mind...body ...and spirit.....
I endevour to eat a very high level of nutritional food to support my Fibromyalgia....
I now go to Hydro Therapy three times a week and do gym and particular stretching on the alternative days.....
I endevour to listen to my relaxation CD with my earplugs each have night.....
So for me I'm thinking of an overall approach to wellbeing being....and allways find time for family and friends,and supportive and protective networks....
It's not about if I am a size eight....Ha Ha....to those who know me....
I don't really care too much about my weight.....but My priority lies with my true wellbeing....and positive approach to life and....its about the journey Nd what happens along the way......not just all about the end result....
Mental health is very important.... I am very conscious of this....don't ever see anything promoting relaxation with the beautiful size eight models in their licra suits....where does the balance and equity in wellbeing lie there......hmmmmmm.......
F is for....Fibromyalgia....
